President Trump has begun turning to the retired four-star General Jack Keane, former vice chief of staff of the United States army, according to The New York Times, as reports grow of his frustration at his belligerent national security adviser, John Bolton, who he worries is trying to provoke a conflict with Iran.

The White House and Pentagon remained under pressure to demonstrate the reason for the huge buildup in forces and heightened rhetoric of the past 11 days.

The Trump administration meanwhile appeared divided on how hard of a line to take.

While Trump grumbles about Bolton somewhat regularly, his discontent with his national security adviser is not near the levels it reached with Rex Tillerson when he served as Trump's secretary of state, the official added.

The vocal hawk called the move "a clear and unmistakable message to the Iranian regime that any attack on United States interests or on those of our allies will be met with unrelenting force".

Trump said on Thursday he hoped the USA was not on a path to war with Iran, but some wonder if his two most hawkish advisers could be angling for such a confrontation.

Bolton, who advocated regime change in Iran before joining the White House past year, is "just in a different place" from Trump, although the president has been a fierce critic of Iran since long before he hired Bolton. "There is no infighting whatsoever".
